So I realized a couple of things. 1) I cannot write anything in a concise manner, and my verbosity often serves only to cloud any point I’m trying to make. 2) I read through all the message board pages on the topic that Dee Dubya Chang-alang-a-ding-dong posted a link to, and I have some thoughts on it.
This Insane Keyblader person really is sick…not just little sick…like needs therapy for her internet addictions kind of sick. The situation is really odd though, because I can’t decide whether to laugh or to cry. I mean, Rob’s right, you can’t write comedy like that, but at the same time…she is really messed up, and it is so pathetic that it almost makes me want to cry….but then I remember that I’m a man.
So I am going to say something very important for you Daniel, a piece of advice. I know when someone writes something about you you feel obligated to respond. Not only is this the typical manner in which the internet chat rooms/msg boards/blog comments go, but it also part of your personality. I’m not saying that is a bad thing or dissing you, but you MUST fight that urge to respond when this person writes about you. You are only justifying her, and giving her the attention she seeks. I know you know that somewhere in your head, but you have to ignore her posts on that board, and her PM’s.
Although….if you did keep egging her on, this could get even funnier…..maybe you should indulge her wierd little fantasies…cuz, once again as Rob said “you can’t write comedy like this.”
Anyway, so my post about writing too much now has too much writing in it….so I will bid you adieu.

Well, I appreciate the concern (really I do), but the reasons I respond are three-fold:
1) Yeah, I usually respond when people say something about me, but that’s not *that* important lately since she does it ALL the time. Kind of gotten used to it and thus my replies have been fairly concise and humorous.
2) As you said, I think it’s funny *some times*, but lately sick. It’s kind of a “Well the community thinks it’s funny and it’s no big deal, might as well indulge”
and 3) most importantly, I think she *is* a disturbed individual and wants this attention. I guess it sounds bad, but…I’m kind of afraid what will happen if she doesn’t get it (in a bad suicide sort of way). I’ve heard some things from people who have also been harassed by her and I think I’d feel pretty bad if “something” were to happen if you get my drift. I guess that’a s wussy excuse though.
At the same time, lately I have debated talking to my moderator friends and so forth since the last few have been just plain sick. Again though, thanks for the concern and advice. I appreciate it.

I just wanna point out that you misspelled “again” again.

It is ok Ben…it is ok to cry. Men cry too.
Andrew says
I suppose it may not be prudent, then, to fly out to meet her and break any precious illusions she may or may not have about you :).
Ben says
So, I guess someone screwed with my laptops spelling dictionary, because it breezed right over that word. I think it was smelly, and if it wasn’t…then it was Dirk, and either way….someone will pay, oh yes someone will pay….even if it is the next guy crying I see, just so I can remind him he is a man…j/k….anyway, someone will pay.
